I am writing you to set the record straight regarding an inaccurate and misleading item that appeared in the “News in Brief” column on page 1 of the Sept. 24 Law Journal.

Although a correction was printed on page 2 in your Sept. 25 edition, I have since been hit with rather negative comments and queries regarding the distorted description of my decision on a motion in the matter of Jones v. Fuentes. (The decision is published below.) It is hoped that this letter and the brief decision will more effectively correct the error and subsequent misunderstanding.
